Day 256

Went to the gym in the morning as I am on vacation this week.  Afterwards went to sushi with friends from work.  Quite the morning start to my third vacation day.

Breakfast: Cherry Pie Larabar and 20oz of cold water.

After workout meal: Sushi but not real sushi.  Well by that I mean I don't like raw fish so it was mostly rice rolls with various veggie and cooked type of sushi.  I also had a beer.  In all I had something like 10-11 plates of sushi.  Mostly three pieces on a plate and so definitely overdid it.  No moderation this time.  It's an interesting observation on my part as how this all works.  I figured that since you get a plate and then eat it you would be fuller quicker.  Instead what happened was everything looked good so I found myself grabbing multiple plates at a time.  This was a conveyor belt sushi place so plates and plates of good but mysterious food is constantly streaming past you.  If you see something you like or think you'll like then you grab it.  And everyone at your table is doing it and talking and eating and saying how good this or that is.  So if something was really good and it comes around again (and it will) then you grab it even if you're not finished with what's in front of you.  I've done this a few times and I think I've finally hit on the solution.  I will not allow myself to grab more than one plate at a time thus making the decision more involved.  When I go to grab the selection I will have to decide if that's really the one I want or was there another one that's going to come along in a minute that's better.

In anticipation of the sushi lunch I went to the gym in the morning.  I did weights and then did cardio.  Only 40min of cardio but a good weight workout.  One of L's awesome routines.  I felt like I got a workout today.  I will be trying to go to the gym everyday this week.  Shouldn't be an issue.  I don't have to go in the morning so that shouldn't be an excuse if I don't feel like getting out of bed since I'm on vac.  After lunch I came home and did a little bit of house work.  So didn't immediately sit down in front of the computer.

Dinner: Had the last of the pasta bake from a few weeks ago.  I froze a good portion of it and figured it was time.  So alot of carbs today between the pasta and the sushi.  I'll be working them off for the rest of the week. 

Late snack: I was hungry later in the evening and so I had an apple and a handful of almonds.  Satisfied me.
